It’s important to never overlook the help.

He's proper, he's polite, but the humble Doorman of The Baroness Hotel is more than meets the eye.

While he had only planned to experience life on this plane for a few weeks, The Doorman quickly discovered that the New York service industry was a great way to see the strange demands that please humans.

Overview

The Doorman's motivation in the ritual is to see the Patrons, since he hasn't seen them in a long time.[1][2] He doesn't seem to have a wish planned as he intends to return to the Baroness after the ritual,[3][4] although the Patrons goad him to wish back his old power.[5]

Biography

The entity known as "The Doorman" is an ancient extraplanar fledgling god and cosmic being[6][7][8] who used to slaughter and torment humans several years ago, feeling glee at their fear and misery.[9][10][11]

At some point, he decided to experience life on Earth disguised as a human for a few weeks, and either created the Baroness Hotel in New York or was employed at it as soon as it was built.[9] He adopted the title of "The Doorman" to remind himself of his new role,[12] and enjoyed it so much that he has stayed at the Baroness since then.

The Doorman once required the Baxter Society's intervention at the Baroness.[13]

Personality

The Doorman is polite and respectful when talking to the other heroes, even if they are rude to him.[14][15] However, he has supernatural knowledge about them, and uses this to torments his enemies while they're trapped in the Baroness, or to convince them to stay and forget about the ritual.[16] During the ritual, he may fall back on his sadistic old ways when on a killstreak.[10][11]

The Doorman likes working at the Baroness since he gets to observe humanity.[17] He has a very dedicated work ethic, and finds that serving humans has a "novel charm" compared to his past experience of tormenting them.[9] He does not discriminate against any guests of the Baroness,[18] unless they break its rules, in which case they may be kicked out.[19][20]

The Doorman often refers to the other heroes as "mortals",[21][22] and believes they are weak and childish compared to him.[23][24]

Most heroes don't know the true nature of the Doorman, and are surprised by his exceptional powers.[25]

Information

The OSIC seem to be aware of the Doorman's true nature, as they consider Doorman participating in the ritual as "overstepping".[26]

The Doorman claims to be able to see the future, although it's unknown if he's bluffing or not.[27]

The Doorman has a coworker called Jacques.[28]

The Doorman knows Oathkeeper and the Troubadour.

Character Relationships

The Doorman calls the Patrons "old friends" and refers to them as City Mother and Amber King.[29][30]

Both Patrons are familiar with the Doorman, expressing surprise and joy at seeing him fighting on their behalf.[31][32] They respect The Doorman and view his murderous side as "who he was meant to be".[33]

The Doorman thinks Lady Geist is rude and doesn't expect any tips from her.[34][14] Lady Geist believes that the Baroness has lost its standards.[35]

Mirage and Nashala are guests at the Baroness. When on the enemy team, Doorman feels sorry for killing Mirage.

The Doorman thinks Wraith is a "delight" and is grateful towards her since she's a generous tipper.[36][37] He calls her a friend.[38]

Character Interactions

  • The Doorman doesn't seem to know what Warden wants,[39] which could mean he's telepathic like the PatronPatrons as opposed to being omniscient, since they can't read Warden's desires either.[40]
  • The Doorman respects Infernus since they both work in the service industry and is apologetic when killing him.[41][42]
  • The Doorman thinks Wraith is a "delight" and is grateful towards her since she's a generous tipper.[36][37]
  • The Doorman is actively keeping Paradox out of the Baroness.[43]
  • The Doorman has kicked Silver and Vyper out of the Baroness.[19][20]
  • Both PatronPatrons are familiar with the Doorman, expressing surprise and joy at seeing him fighting on their behalf.[31][32] They respect The Doorman and view his murderous side as "who he was meant to be".[33]
  • Mina and Lady Geist don't like talking to The Doorman since they view him as just "the help".[44][15]
  • Venator recognises that Doorman is more ancient and powerful than he lets on.[6][45]
  • Seven knows that Doorman isn't normal and wants to uncover his secrets.[46][47] The Doorman thinks Seven is far from becoming the god that Seven wishes to be.[48]
